Node.js / TypeScript client

A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — cbuae-exchange-rate:

npm install cbuae-exchange-rate
import { getRate } from 'cbuae-exchange-rate';

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'AED', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
console.log(pair.rate, pair.rate_date);

Zero dependencies, TypeScript types included, and it runs anywhere fetch exists — Node 18+, Bun, Deno, and edge runtimes.

Full reference — installation, all four functions, response shapes, error codes: cbuae-exchange-rate documentation.

Why use the official Central Bank of the UAE rate?

A market rate is a moving target; the rate Central Bank of the UAE publishes is a fixed, citable figure that stays put once printed — which is why invoicing, customs, audit evidence, and statutory accounting in United Arab Emirates lean on it rather than on a live feed. Every response from this API carries the bank's own rate_date, and on days with no publication you get the most recent published table — the one compliance rules tell you to apply.

Pairs the bank doesn't print directly are resolved from its table (inverse or cross via AED) and explicitly flagged "derived": true — so what the bank printed and what was computed are never confused.

Endpoints

Full parameter reference in the API documentation. Every request counts toward your plan's monthly quota — rates change once per business day, so caching a published table locally makes a small quota go far.
